Installing a pool or spa

Diving into a pool installation project? Find out what you need to get going.

Our main concern when you are installing a pool or spa is to check that it is not located too close to our water, wastewater or drainage services.

In most cases, water mains and drainage mains will not be located inside your property, but our sewer mains may be.

We ask that you complete a self-assessment of the location and depth of the proposed pool or spa against our existing sewer mains. If you plan to build it too close, you may need to revise your plans.

Make sure your pool is waterwise!

Did you know you can reduce water loss through evaporation by reducing water temperature just a few degrees or using a pool cover between swims? During summer, using a pool cover can save up to around 55 litres of water a day.
